Voting clip:Sandra (Courtney): Courtney, I'm glad you were here to experience all this with me. You're the greatest and we're going to be friends for life. It's between me and you, so sorry I have to vote for you.
Jerri (Courtney): We'll try this one more time again (chuckle). It's definitely between you and Sandra. You're the most threatening. It's obvious and not worth the risk.
Danielle (Courtney): Courtney, I love you, nothing against you, just trying to make the best strategic move.
Russell (Courtney): You're a nice girl, wish I got to know you better, but you got on the wrong train.
Parvarti: (Courtney): I'm so sad you're leaving. It won't be the same without you. Really gonna miss you.
Courtney (Jerri): Gotta vote for someone, sorry.
HERO TRIBE HIGHLIGHTS:
Amanda's mad because "JT is taking out all my people." She doesn't want Parv to go because it "limits her options." She doesn't like that JT now has Rupert AND Russell on his side and Russell will be indebted to him. She pulls out a little list with all her options. (Side comment: where did they get paper/pencil??? why would she write this out? would be funny if someone else found her list of "game moves"). She says that she's cool with Candice, Colby and Amanda as an alliance of 3 and that her plan was to pull in Parv/Courtney after the merge. (INTERESTING...we've seen hints but this indicates that Amanda has strategically blown off her alliance with JT and Rupert.) Amanda says she has a decision to make -- she can "pull a big move" and rid of JT now, or she can wait until F6, which might be less risky since they might still need him for challenges. She said she's had to "suck it up" and let JT call all the shots up until now but she's tired out of that. She says she's out to win this time and she's going to make the best of things even if Parv is gone. Foreshadowing final comment: "JT is the one person who can ruin it" for her! Oh, and one more thing -- she says the group had decided to take out Sandra next...interesting, I guess they're assuming she's the #2 ringleader (and assuming Parv is gone)?
JT has a long, cringe-worthy confessional about his brilliant plan in giving Russell the HII. Honestly, it's painful to watch because he's just so darn proud that he has made a bold move and changed the game. He says "There is no doubt that Russell will stick to our plan" - ha! He says "we're not fools" - ha! He says "we've guaranteed that Russell will be here and Parv is gone" - ha! Also, he says that he's OK if Parv is still here after the merge, because that means another girl is gone and that they've flushed the Villain HII out. (So he's basically already thought of Russell's alibi, see below....and pretty much told us that he'll fall for it hook, line and sinker.) SO SAD, SO STUPID!
Colby says winning immunity today was critical...and it's a game changer since they've now evened things up, and if JT's plan works, they'll have the lead. "We've taken control of this game."
Rupert is very upset because going into the RC, everyone on his tribe ranked him as weakest. He says it was stupid to rank Amanda and Candice as the strongest. This clip is obviously pre-RC, because he says he cannot imagine losing and he has no doubt that he will be the last person standing! (Lots of irony in the Hero clips this week.)
Candice talks about how it's Day 23 and they're running out of food and everyone is weak/lethargic. She says they only have 1 tsp. of rice left and 1 chicken.
Amanda says she's proud she's been out there the longest of any Survivor. She knows people are expecting the merge but she's not set on it.
Rupert talks about how he's been traveling for over 40 yrs. but has never seen such amazing sea life as in Samoa. E.g., he's seen schools of unicorn fish and trumpet fish as long as his body.
VILLAINS HIGHLIGHTS
Russell discusses his alibi for how he'll explain why Parv shows up at the merge. He's going to say that Parv played the HII so Courtney went instead and she was 2nd in charge. He says he knows Sandra is going to snitch, but he's going to preempt that by telling all the Heroes not to trust Sandra because she's a big liar.
Jerri "is aghast" at JT's plan. She says she has never seen anything so stupid. "It's like they gave us a golden ticket to the Final Four!" She also mentions that Colby gave her a big wet kiss after the immunity idol...so she thought he was signaling to her that he wanted to flop, but when she shared that info with Russell, he explained what was really going on.
Danielle talks about the RC and says she knew that the women would dominate, because in this challenge the less you weigh, the better. "This challenge was meant for us" and "girl power."
Courtney tells us in a confessional that she made her case with Parv and told her that she'll be more helpful in getting Amanda to flop post merge but she's not going to throw Sandra under the boss. A couple of interesting insights:
- She says she warned Parv that Jerri hates Parv/Danielle and will try to create an alliance with Russell, Colby and Rupert
- She says she knows that Parv might want to keep Sandra (over her) because they're both prior winners (interesting that we don't hear Parv ever talking about that)
Sandra has a secret stash of bananas. Says the rest of her tribe is lazy so she doesn't feel the need to share.
Courtney befriends 1 of the chickens and calls it Freckles. She's upset when the rest of the tribe decides to eat it. Symbolic scene of her own demise, although note it's an older clip since Coach is shown eating the chicken.
In her post-game comments, Courtney says that the Villains tribe was the "10 laziest schemers ever" and camp life just sucked. She says it was the "clash of the testicles" and that Rob and Tyson's big mistake was that they should have been content to take out Danielle vs. go after Russell at that fateful TC where Tyson screwed up.
